Wireless communication method using BSS identifier and wireless communication terminal using same
Provided is a wireless communication terminal that wirelessly communicates. The wireless communication terminal includes a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals; and a processor configured to process the wireless signals. The processor is configured to: generate a trigger frame for triggering uplink transmission based random access of at least one wireless communication terminal, and insert the trigger frame into a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) to transmit the PPDU.
1. A wireless communication terminal wirelessly communicating with a base wireless communication terminal, the wireless communication terminal comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless signals; and
a processor configured to process the wireless signals,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) including a trigger frame for triggering transmission to the base wireless communication terminal,
when the PPDU including the trigger frame indicates a Basic Service Set (BSS) color, set a value of a BSS color indicated by a trigger-based PPDU based on the value of the BSS color indicated by the PPDU including the trigger frame,
when the PPDU including the trigger frame does not indicate the BSS color, set a value of a BSS color indicated by the trigger-based PPDU according to an active BSS color of the wireless communication terminal, and
transmit the trigger-based PPDU based on the trigger frame,
wherein the BSS color is one of identifiers identifying a BSS,
wherein the active BSS color indicates a BSS color actually used by the wireless communication terminal.
2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to: receive information on a BSS color change from the base wireless communication terminal, and when a BSS color change time point indicated by the information on the BSS color change is reached, set the active BSS color to a value of a BSS color indicated by the information on the BSS color change.
3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 2 , wherein the BSS color change time point is set based on a target beacon transmission time transmitted by the base wireless communication terminal.
4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein if the PPDU indicates a partial Basic Service Set (BSS) color using a Partial Association ID (AID) field, the processor determines whether the PPDU is an Intra-BSS PPDU or an Inter-BSS PPDU based on the partial BSS color when the value of the partial AID field is non-zero,
wherein the partial AID field is a signaling field used to indicate part of an AID value,
wherein the Intra-BSS PPDU is a PPDU transmitted from the BSS including the wireless communication terminal, and the Inter-BSS PPDU is a PPDU transmitted from the BSS not including the wireless communication terminal.
